Estimated weight of your new M3/M4

[Powerslide]

So just for fun/discussion - what would be your guess for the way you would equip your own F8x M3/M4? Obviously we will know more about weight after Detroit debut - but until then, here is my guess:

First - Assume 3305 lbs for an M4 with new manual transmission, CCB, carbon fiber roof and lightest OEM wheels available as a "baseline" (as new M4 will be "under" 1500kg or 3306 lbs):

F80 M3: maybe 35 extra pounds just for body (approximate weight difference between E90 and E92 M3); 11 extra pounds vs CF trunk on F82; 2 extra pounds roof (F82 CF roof weight savings is 13lbs, vs only 11lb weight savings for F80); 70 lbs for DCT transmission (old manual 44 lbs lighter than DCT in E9x M3 - new manual 26lbs lighter - so assuming new DCT (from current M5/M6) same weight as DCT from E9x); and finally - steel brakes instead of CCB - 40 lbs.

So - my F80 M3 as I would
Equip it would be approx. 3463 lbs. (3305+35+11+2+70+40). Actually - I just remembered EDC v. Non adjustable shocks probably would add weight on top of that - no idea how much more though.

Anyone hazard a guess of weight difference for EDC v non adjustable shocks?

Actually I just thought of something else - the approximate 35 lb difference between E90M3 and E92M3 assumes carbon fiber roof on E92, but steel roof (no moon roof) on E90. So I may have "double counted" the weight of roof on F80 - which would mean reduce my estimated weight by about 11lbs (now 3452 lbs)...

But still need a guess as to weight difference between EDC and non adjustable shocks...

3450lbs.

Full leather, DCT, heated seats/ventilated seats, nav, and 19" wheels.

I've seen estimates of the EDC option to add ~10 lbs.

Well I weighed my car a few months ago. Electric/heated seats and satnav, it was filled up. 1518kg.= est 3350lbs.

I really hope a bigger car with DCT etc will weigh only 100lbs more.We'll see.

Cheers

6mt
CF roof
Leather
Nav
18s (or comp if available)

Hopefully 3400 lbs or so

My guess is 3,500 pounds if I weighed it myself with all fluids and 1/4 tank gas - no driver.

Manual trans, maybe full leather interior, no other options, sedan.

I think this is spot on, around 3470 - 3510 when you throw it up on a corner balance scale. Power seats and a heavy battery are your easy weight reductions.

1655-80=1575kg (3472 lbs)

As i understood M4 gone weight ~80kg less then E92 m3.
So on the documents standart option m4 ~ 1575kg or 3472lbs
And around 1500 (3306) on scales
